From 'playstation-disorder':
"What is one of the most heard prejudice when you ask people about the PS3? I guess number one is "The PLAYSTATION 3 is difficult to program, more difficult than other consoles". Well, this statement as such is of course stupid. Compared to let's say the PS2, the PS3 is a big improvement. While you had to use assembler code on the PS2 for almost all advanced stuff, the PS3 basically just needs C++ or C code in most cases. This is even true for the Cell SPEs, the main differenciator...
